MiR-148b modulates the C1GALT1 expression explaining the abnormal glycosylation process in IgA Nephropathy

ABSTRACT: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide characterized by aberrant O-glycosylation in the hinge region of IgA1. The basis for the abnormal glycosylation in IgAN is still unknown, but an important involvement of the enzyme core 1, beta 1,3-galactosyltransferase 1 (C1GALT1) is known. However, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs), a new family of key mRNA regulatory molecules, in the IgAN pathogenesis has not yet been reported. In this study, by high-throughput microRNA profiling, we identified 37 miRNAs differentially expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from IgAN patients compared to healthy subjects. Among them, upregulated miR-148b potentially targeted C1GALT1, INVS and PTEN, three genes notably downregulated in IgAN patients. C1GALT1 expression levels in IgAN patients were reduced and negatively correlated with the upregulated miR-148b expression. We demonstrated the biological relationship between miR-148b and C1GALT1 by transient transfection experiments ex vivo. When we reduced the upregulated miR-148b function in PBMCs of IgAN patients an increase of the C1GALT1 mRNA and protein levels was observed. We validated biologically also the miR-148b targeting of INVS , involved in the altered modulation of the WNT–β-catenin and PI3K/Akt pathways in IgAN patients. All together our data evidence an important role of miR-148b in the pathogenesis of IgAN, which could explain the aberrant glycosylation of IgA1 in the pathogenesis and should light on a potential target for the theraphy of the disease.

The upregulation of miR-98-5p affects the glycosylation of IgA1 through cytokines in IgA nephropathy

Project description:Purpose: Increases in galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), and several recent experiments have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in regulating the development and physiological function of the kidney. The aims of this study were to identify miRNAs that can affect the pathogenesis of IgAN and reveal the underlying regulatory mechanism of IgA1 glycosylation in peripheral blood Methods: The differentially expressed miRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) between IgAN patients and healthy controls were screened by high-throughput sequencing. The miRNA targets were predicted and verified by dual-luciferase reporter assays. We also explored the miRNA regulation of Gd-IgA1 through the transfection of miRNA mimics and related plasmids Results: The high-throughput sequencing results showed that miR-98-5p was highly expressed in the PBMCs of IgAN patients compared with healthy controls, and the luciferase reporter gene system confirmed that miR-98-5p might target chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3). The transfection of si-CCL3 confirmed that a decrease in CCL3 can affect the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C1GALT1. The overexpression of miR-98-5p in PBMCs via the transfection of miR-98-5p mimic reduced the CCL3 and C1GALT1 levels and increased the IL-6 levels. However, these changes in PBMCs were attenuated by cotransfection with the CCL3 plasmid. Conclusion: The results showed that miR-98-5p in PBMCs can target CCL3 to decrease its expression, which increased the IL-6 levels and the resulting increase in IL-6 can decrease C1GALT1 expression. Therefore, miR-98-5p might be involved in the development of IgAN.

microRNA-630 regulates underglycosylated IgA1 production in the tonsils by targeting TLR4 in IgA nephropathy

Project description:IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular disease. The characteristic pathology involves immune complexes formed by the deposition of IgA1 and underglycosylated IgA1 aggregates in the mesangial area, which may be accompanied by the deposition of IgG and/or IgM and complement components. However, the molecular mechanisms of IgAN remain unclear. In the present study, microarray analysis showed that the expression of miR-630 was significantly reduced in palatal tonsils from IgAN patients compared with chronic tonsillitis. Additionally, bioinformatic analysis showed that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) was the predicted target gene of miR-630 and was regulated by miR-630. When miR-630 was overexpressed in palatal tonsil mononuclear cells from IgAN patients, the expression of TLR4 was reduced and the content of IgA1 in the cell culture supernatant was decreased, and the level of galactosylation in the IgA1 hinge region was increased. Moreover, immunohistochemical analysis showed that the expression of TLR4 in IgAN patients was significantly increased and. After knocking down the expression of TLR4, both the concentration of IgA1 and the binding force of IgA1 with broad bean lectin were significantly reduced in IgAN. Furthermore, the mechanism study demonstrated that TLR4 might regulate the expression of IL-1β and IL-8 through NF-κB signaling pathway to modulate the concentration of IgA1 and the glycosylation level of IgA1. This interesting finding may offer new insight into the molecular mechanism of IgAN.

Role of IgG autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy assessed in a passive mouse model

Project description:IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, is characterized by IgA1-containing glomerular immunodeposits. These immunodeposits are thought to originate from the circulating immune complexes consisting of aberrantly glycosylated IgA1 (galactose-deficient IgA1; Gd-IgA1) bound by IgG autoantibodies. This hypothesis is supported by the findings that renal immunodeposits of IgA nephropathy patients are enriched for IgG autoantibodies specific for galactose-deficient IgA1 (Rizk et al., J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 30(10), 2017-2026, 2019). However, experimental proof is needed. This study provides in vivo data in mice that support the pathogenic role of IgG autoantibodies in IgAN.

Dual antagonism of the endothelin A and angiotensin II type 1 receptors protects from glomerular hypercellularity in a model of IgA nephropathy

Project description:IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, is characterized by glomerular deposition of immune complexes (IC) consisting of IgA1 with some O-glycans deficient in galactose (Gd-IgA1) and Gd-IgA1-specific IgG autoantibodies. These IC induce kidney injury, and in the absence of disease-specific therapy, up to 40% of IgAN patients progress to kidney failure. IgA1 with its clustered O-glycans is unique to humans, which hampered development of small-animal models of IgAN. To address this issue, we developed a model wherein engineered IC (EIC) formed from human Gd-IgA1 and recombinant IgG autoantibody are injected into nude mice to induce glomerular injury mimicking human IgAN. Here, we used this animal model to assess the protective effects of sparsentan, a single-molecule dual antagonist of endothelin A receptor (ETAR) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) (DEARA). Oral administration of sparsentan (60 or 120 mg/kg) to mice intravenously injected with EIC attenuated the EIC-induced glomerular hypercellularity.

miR-148b modulates the expression of multiple genes

Project description:To identify which miR-148b targets were involved in tumorigenesis, a microarray analysis was performed for miR-148b over-expressing cells versus controls and 129 (49 up and 80 down) modulated genes were revealed. The effects of miR-148b on cancer progression depend on the direct and indirect regulation of multiple target genes. To identify miR-148b modulated genes, MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with miR-148b precursors or negative controls (pre-miR-148b or control) and used 48h later for microarray and western blot (WB) analyses. When a âWhole Human Genome Oligo Microarrayâ (Agilent) platform was employed, 129 differentially expressed genes (49 upregulated, 80 downmodulated) were found at 48h, considering a fold change (FC) cut of 1.5 and a false discovery rate (FDR) of 16% (Table S4). Crossing these results with the list of putative miR-148b targets (3642) obtained by the miRecords System, we observed that 33 of the modulated genes were also miR-148b predicted targets and interestingly, 26 out of these 33 genes were downmodulated.

Metabolomics of immunoglobulin-producing cells in IgA nephropathy

Project description:IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common primary glomerulonephritis, is characterized by deposits of IgA-containing immune complexes in the kidney glomeruli, as first described by Berger and Hinglais in 1968. IgAN is a major cause of end-stage renal disease with its associated cardio-renal morbidity and mortality. Analyses of the IgA deposits revealed that the IgA is exclusively of the IgA1 subclass and that this IgA1 is aberrantly glycosylated, deficient in galactose in some O-glycans (Gd-IgA1). Patients with IgAN have elevated serum levels of Gd-IgA1 bound by anti-glycan autoantibodies in circulating immune complexes (CIC) that are fundamental in driving disease pathology in an autoimmune process. We have recently shown that elevated serum levels of Gd-IgA1 in patients with IgAN predict disease progression. Thus, understanding the mechanisms behind Gd-IgA1 production will improve future treatment options, as there is presently no disease-specific therapy. A total of 24 cell pellets (4 replicates from 6 cell lines) were analyzed by LCMS metabolomics. Immortalized immunoglobulin-producing cell lines were generated from peripheral-blood lymphocytes from patients with IgAN and healthy controls as described in Suzuki, H., Moldoveanu, Z., Hall, S., et al. IgA1-secreting cell lines from patients with IgA nephropathy produce aberrantly glycosylated IgA1. J Clin Invest. 2008, 118, 629-639.

Comprehensive analysis of circRNA expression profiles and circRNA associated competing endogenous RNA networks in IgA nephropathy

Project description:Purpose: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is immune-mediated primary glomerulonephritis, which is the most common reason leading to renal failure worldwide, the exact pathogenesis of IgAN is not well defined. Accumulating evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial roles in the immune disease by involving in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network mechanism. At present, the studies of the circRNA profiles and circRNA-associated ceRNA networks in the IgAN are still scarce. This study aimed to elucidate the potential roles of circRNA, microRNA (miRNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA) ceRNA network in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of IgAN. Methods: CircRNA sequencing was used to identify the differential expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) of PBMCs in IgAN and healthy controls. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network was constructed to further investigate the mechanisms of IgAN. Results: A total of 145 circRNAs were differentially expressed in IgAN compared with controls (|log2 (FC)|>1 and P-value <0.05). Combined with the data from GSE73953 and GSE25590 in GEO database, a ceRNA network was constructed which contained 16 DEcircRNAs, 72 differential expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and 11 differential expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs). Conclusion: Our study identified a novel circRNA-mediated ceRNA regulatory network mechanisms in the pathogenesis of IgAN.
